Chapter 730 Who impeached whom?

After Zhuang Yue wiped off his sweat and drank tea, he slowly told about Du Jinning's stay in Runzhou.

Zhuang Yue was very angry when he heard it, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Qi, I want to go to Runzhou."

Qi Muyuan pressed his palms, asked him to sit down, and said, "You still don't know what your young master is capable of? Now the emperor has sent someone to escort Cao Hongshou and Wang Yugui to Beijing, and the Chen family is almost doomed. I'm here today. I want to tell you, stay steady, don't mess around; more importantly, guard everywhere, don't let the Chen family take advantage of the loopholes, bite you before you die, and bring disaster to your young master."

"Yes." Zhuang Yue stood up solemnly, and bowed deeply to Qi Muyuan, "Thank you, Young Master Qi for your friendship. My young master will be grateful to Young Master Qi if he knows about it."

Qi Muyuan showed a rare smile on his usually expressionless face, stood up and helped Zhuang Yue up with his own hands: "Your young master's backyard is up to you to guard. I would rather do less or no business during this time, and I must Make sure nothing happens."

"Master Qi, don't worry, the villain knows what to do." Zhuang Yue bowed again.

"Then go and arrange it quickly, I'm going back."

"Master Qi, go slowly."

After sending Qi Muyuan away, Zhuang Yue asked people to call the shopkeepers from all over the place for a meeting.

When the shopkeepers arrived, Zhuang Yue immediately announced: "The day after tomorrow will be the first day of the new year, and the sale of the newly printed "Chang Tian Ji" will be postponed."

"Big shopkeeper, this is not acceptable. I'm afraid someone will smash rotten eggs at the door of the bookstore." A shopkeeper said.

The other shopkeepers nodded.

"Chang Tian Ji" is published every month, and many book fans are eagerly looking forward to it. On the first day of every month, you can see a queue like a long queue outside the bookstore.If it was suddenly announced that "Chang Tian Ji" would not be released, these people would probably riot.

Zhuang Yue's face was full of seriousness: "The young master was fighting with Zhizhou in Runzhou, and the Chen family in Beijing impeached the young master. The situation is tense. If someone uses the content of "Chang Tian Ji" to make a fuss, the young master's situation will definitely be worsened. Therefore, tomorrow, each bookstore will post a large paper at the door, saying that due to a problem in the printing workshop, the manuscript of the new "Chang Tian Ji" has been destroyed. At this time, the author is asking the author to rewrite it, so "Chang Tian Ji" has been postponed. As for when it will be available for sale, we will wait for the announcement.”

As soon as Du Jinning was involved in this matter, the expressions of all the shopkeepers became serious.

Why is their business so booming?That's naturally because the boss has the ability.Once something happens to the owner, it will be like being uprooted. No matter how prosperous the flowers here are, they will fail in two days, and there will be no more vitality.

Therefore, Zhuang Yue didn't need to say which one was more important, they all made it very clear.

Except for "Chang Tian Ji", what is sold in the bookstore is the Four Books and Five Classics, so I am not afraid that someone will make a fuss about it.As for the "newspaper" that the young master called the distribution, because of inexperience, the progress was relatively slow, and the content had not been collected yet, so it was not printed.So stop selling "Chang Tian Ji", even if those people want to use the bookstore to make a fuss, they have nowhere to talk.

"Aside from the bookstore, what about the flower shop? Should the business of the flower shop be suspended?" asked a shopkeeper.

Zhuang Yue shook his head: "I don't know how long this contest will last. There is no need to stop the business of the flower shop. But..."

He glanced at everyone: "First of all, during this period of time, you have to watch in the shop all the time, and restrain the guys. If someone comes to provoke you, tell them to endure it and don't cause trouble for the young master. Secondly, someone comes to order Congratulations to the flower basket, you must send two or more experienced people to deliver it, so as not to be tampered with."

Hearing the latter sentence, the expressions of the shopkeepers suddenly became serious, and they nodded frequently.

Generally, when ordering a flower basket, A pays a deposit, and then asks them to send it to B to celebrate the happy event of B's ​​family.Just write Jia's name on the flower basket.

But if the guy who delivered the flower basket had an accident on the way, and the flower basket was replaced by flowers made of white silk or white flowers, and the recipient was a dignitary in the court, it would not be congratulations, but they would get into big trouble for the young master. trouble.

"Why don't we use the flower base as an excuse, and let's suspend the flower basket business." A shopkeeper in his sixties said, "There is never enough money to be made, and we should focus on the overall situation. If you understand, you will agree with our approach."

Zhuang Yue frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "That's fine. I'll send someone to deliver a letter to the young master tomorrow to ask the young master what he means. Before the young master replies, the flower basket business should be suspended."

……

On the second day when he went to the court, after discussing the important affairs of the court, Zhao He intentionally brought up the memorial of Cao Hongshou, and immediately the Chen family came forward to request Du Jinning to be severely punished.

Seeing that someone took the lead, the officials of the aristocratic family also came out one after another to request Du Jinning to be severely punished.

Because of Du Jinning, they had a bad meal back then.Now that they have the opportunity to add insult to injury, they are naturally very happy.

Zhao Yu glanced at the people who came out, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and asked: "I haven't sent anyone to investigate whether Cao Hongshou's statement is true, but you all stood up and demanded that Du Jinning be severely punished. In the future, as long as someone comes up If I impeach you, I will punish you severely without asking why?"

There was silence in the hall.

Zhao Huo then asked Mr. Chen's elder brother Chen Yanyun: "Do you have evidence for your request to severely punish Du Jinning?"

"Cao Hongshou is Du Jinning's boss, so he knows Du Jinning's actions well. Give Cao Hongshou ten courages, and he would not dare to make a false accusation in front of the emperor. As long as the emperor investigates this matter, he will know the truth. I believe that Cao Hongshou will not be so stupid." Chen Yanyun road.

The other ministers nodded.

No matter how courageous Cao Hongshou was, he would not have dared to lie and frame Du Jinning on such a matter that could be found out immediately.Therefore, Du Jinning's dereliction of duty is certain.

"Your Majesty." Liu Yushi came out, "Cao Hongshou is the son-in-law of the Chen family, and Mr. Chen's sister married Cao Hongshou. The Ministry of Criminal Justice tried the case, and the testimony of close relatives is not sure. Mr. Chen stepped forward to impeach Du Jinning on behalf of his sister-in-law. I think it is difficult." called justice."

Seeing that Liu Yushi came out to refute Chen Yanyun, those aristocratic families who took the opportunity to second their opinions cried out in their hearts, and immediately scolded the Chen family to death.

Who is Liu Yushi?That's an old stubborn who doesn't care about anyone's face, doesn't buy anyone's account, and is very upright.As long as he stands out against it, everyone will be beating their hearts.Because this guy doesn't know what means, he can always have some evidence in his hand, and he doesn't dare to give up until he refute the person he wants to impeach.Once, he even carried it with the emperor, which made the emperor's face ashen, and he walked away directly.But because what he said was the truth, the emperor had nothing to do with him.

Now he is out to help Du Jinning and oppose the Chen family, which shows that Cao Hongshou's words are not credible.The Chen family is afraid that it will be unlucky.

They believed in Cao Hongshou and supported the Chen family, and thought that Du Jinning and Du Jinning had offended the emperor, so they came forward to second the proposal one by one. Now, they are afraid that they will have to die with the Chen family.

They hadn't finished their thoughts when they heard Liu Yushi say again: "I feel that Mr. Chen's words lack justice. Besides he is Cao Hongshou's brother-in-law, it is also because the Chen family hides filth and acts cruelly." , killing people, disregarding the king's law..."

As he spoke, he took out a folder from his sleeve and raised it above his head.
